Flooring in Central London.
Subfloor preparation as standard on every job.
We supply and fit a full range of flooring — laminate, LVT, engineered wood, herringbone and carpet. Every installation starts with a subfloor survey and proper preparation, which is what makes the floor last.
Flooring in Central London.
Central London — covering EC1, WC1, WC2, SW1 and W1 — is dense urban territory with a high proportion of converted Georgian and Victorian buildings and mansion flats.
The period properties typical of inner London — Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses and mansion flat conversions — commonly have original suspended timber subfloors that need assessing before any new material is specified. We check whether existing boards are worth restoring, and test moisture before committing to an adhesive system.
The property stock here is predominantly Georgian and Victorian town houses converted to flats, mansion blocks and commercial-to-residential conversions. Based in Berkshire, working across London — Central London jobs are among our first visits of the day.
